kiki37285183d@Demolishun there is an amazing Micropenis Trump painting that Trump wanted to sue the paintress over. If the case is defamation, then the defaming thing must be false, sooooo… you'll have to “prove” that in court. And court hearings are public.

JsonBoa3016146dImagine that an US unit is searching some Baghdad basement in the height of the second Saddam war. They have a finding, and report 50.000 9mm rounds as freaking old-timey 9 inch naval ordinance - just because they see the 9 and the 9 inch ordinance is the first in the reporting system results.
They have about a second to report it before they have to move, it's understandable that the first result in the system might get clicked.
Then...
The coalition force might have to reallocate an entire bloody carrier battle group. A fucking billion dollars evaporate just because someone reported the wrong size of ammo.
No fucking way the US armed forces will use an entire fucking measurement system different from their coalition forces. -
